Will Rogers Memorial Park – George Michael Was Busted Here

On April 7, 1998, British pop singer George Michael, formerly of Wham! was arrested for performing a lewd act (while alone) in a public restroom. The star pleaded no contest, paid a fine, and was ordered to undergo counseling. Michael later dressed as a cop and made light of the incident in his music video “Outside.”

(Don’t confuse this Will Rogers Memorial Park with the much larger Will Rogers State Historic Park. This smaller park is located right across the street from the Beverly Hills Hotel.)
